FAQs

Can I paint over CT1 sealant?

Yes, CT1 is fully over paintable once it has cured. For best results, allow the sealant to cure completely before painting to ensure optimal paint adhesion and finish.

Does CT1 work in wet conditions or underwater?

Absolutely. One of CT1's key features is its ability to perform exceptionally well in both wet and dry conditions, and it can even be applied and cure effectively underwater, making it highly versatile.

Is CT1 resistant to UV light and chemicals?

Yes, CT1 offers excellent colour retention due to its UV resistance, preventing yellowing or degradation from sun exposure. It also boasts excellent resistance to a wide range of common chemicals.

Will CT1 shrink or crack over time?

No, CT1 is formulated with unique flexibility and is designed not to shrink or crack, ensuring a durable and long-lasting seal or bond that can withstand movement and temperature changes.

Do I need to use additional fixings with CT1?

CT1 provides unique adhesion on virtually any material in most applications, often eliminating the need for additional mechanical fixings. However, for critical structural applications or heavy loads, consult engineering guidelines.

Is CT1 safe for interior use?

Yes, CT1 is solvent-free and environmentally compliant, making it suitable for both interior and exterior applications without strong odors or harmful fumes.

Troubleshooting

Sealant won't cure or cures too slowly.

Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined spaces, as CT1 cures with atmospheric moisture. Check ambient temperature; very cold conditions can significantly slow down curing. Ensure proper surface preparation and application thickness.

Poor adhesion or bond failure.

Thoroughly clean and degrease surfaces before application. Ensure surfaces are free of dust, loose particles, and old sealant residue. For non-porous surfaces, ensure they are completely dry (unless applying underwater, where it's designed to work). Roughing up very smooth surfaces can sometimes improve mechanical keying.

Difficult to dispense from the cartridge.

Check if the nozzle is cut to an appropriate size. Ensure the tip is not blocked by cured sealant. Use a good quality caulk gun with adequate leverage. If the product is old or stored in very cold conditions, warming it to room temperature may help.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Bonds and seals effectively in wet conditions and even underwater.
  • Offers superior adhesion to a wide range of materials.
  • UV resistant, ensuring long-lasting colour retention.
  • Can be painted over for a clean finish.
  • Does not shrink or crack, maintaining flexibility over time.
  • Solvent-free, making it safer for various applications.
  • Environmentally compliant and resistant to chemicals.

Cons

  • Requires careful surface preparation for optimal bond strength.
  • Curing time may vary based on environmental conditions (temperature, humidity).
  • Initial application might require specific tools (e.g., caulk gun).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup & Application

  1. Surface Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, free from dust, grease, and loose material. While CT1 works in wet conditions, a clean surface will always yield the strongest bond. For best results, degrease surfaces where necessary.
  2. Cut Nozzle: Cut the nozzle to the desired bead size at a 45-degree angle.
  3. Apply: Insert the cartridge into a standard caulk gun. Apply the sealant with steady pressure, ensuring full contact with both surfaces. For bonding, apply a bead or series of dots to one surface and press the items together firmly.
  4. Tooling (Optional): If desired, smooth the bead within 10-15 minutes of application using a tooling tool or a wet finger for a clean finish.
  5. Curing: Allow sufficient time for curing. The surface will typically skin over within 20-30 minutes, but full cure can take 24-48 hours depending on bead thickness, temperature, and humidity.

Compatibility

CT1 is compatible with virtually any material, including:

  • Wood
  • MDF
  • Glass
  • Metals (steel, aluminum, lead, etc.)
  • Concrete
  • Brick
  • Natural stone
  • Ceramics
  • Most plastics (excluding certain low surface energy plastics like PP, PE, PTFE – always test first).

Care & Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Once cured, CT1 is resistant to most common cleaning agents. For general cleaning, use mild soap and water.
  • Storage: Store cartridges in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the nozzle is sealed properly to prevent curing in the tube. An unopened cartridge has a shelf life of approximately 18 months.
  • Spills: Clean up uncured sealant immediately with a suitable cleaner (e.g., white spirit). Once cured, removal usually requires mechanical means.
